Skies

If your car for a while in the full sun has been, is he extremely hot (bit 60 is not weird), especially if your interior/trim is dark. The doors at the other opening is an idea, but really effective, is it not, by a lack of wind.

Bite therefore just a few seconds on your teeth, put your open windows, and start driving. The cool air flow, directly through your car moves, provides even cooling, and is much more efficient than your air conditioning is full to blow. On short trips it is a good idea only at this step.

Circulation

If you like these bands, then do that even more.

For people in the happy possession of a cool garage above is perhaps not so relevant, for the other 99% of the car drivers happy.

The mention of things like ‘no children or animals in your parked car, ” seems to us not very necessary. If you do not own can get you can probably not read.

Finally: if it comes to the temperature, really bar and becomes angry, then it is advisable the very hot hours (say between 12-15) to avoid them, but let’s not be too melodramatic. We still live in the Netherlands, and not in Saudi Arabia.
